Why Lakewood chooses us

Water damage restoration built around how Lakewood is actually built

Lakewood sits where the Rockies meet the plains, and that geography shapes the water problems we see every week. We know the gulches that funnel runoff into neighborhoods during heavy rain, and we know the housing stock: roughly 57% of Lakewood homes date from before 1980, with the older supply lines and weaker waterproofing that come with them.

That local knowledge is why our assessments are accurate on day one and why our repairs match what's already there rather than patching over it.

  • Thorough assessment before any work startsMoisture mapping and thermal imaging find water behind walls and under floors, so the scope of repairs is right from the first visit.
  • One team manages the whole jobExtraction, structural drying and reconstruction handled together. No hand-offs between contractors, no finger-pointing when something slips.
  • Insurance paperwork handled for youDocumentation, line-item estimates and direct billing, so you deal with your family instead of your adjuster.
  • Mold prevention on every jobMold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours, so drying and antimicrobial treatment begin the moment extraction is complete.

What we do

Our water damage restoration services in Lakewood

From a slow leak under a kitchen sink to a basement flooded by a failed sump pump, these services cover every scenario Lakewood homeowners and businesses run into.

Water damage cleanup and extraction

Every restoration starts with getting the water out. Truck-mounted pumps and portable extractors clear standing water from basements, crawl spaces and living areas while we protect contents and unaffected rooms.

Residential equipment can't handle the volumes involved. One Lakewood basement job meant removing around 200 gallons from a single burst pipe. Fast water damage cleanup in Lakewood is what keeps mold from getting a foothold in the first 24 to 48 hours.

Structural drying and dehumidification

Extraction leaves moisture in walls, subfloors, framing and ceilings. Industrial air movers and commercial dehumidifiers pull it out, with daily readings from calibrated meters and thermal imaging until every material is verified dry.

Minor jobs take 3 to 5 days. Heavier saturation can run to 14 days depending on the materials involved. Skipping this step is how warping, rot and hidden mold show up months later.

Water damage repair and reconstruction

Once drying is verified, our water damage repair crew rebuilds what the water destroyed: drywall, insulation, subflooring, flooring, cabinetry, trim and paint, coordinated by the same team that handled the extraction.

Water damage repairs in Lakewood often involve older materials and non-standard construction. Our crews match finishes properly rather than leaving you with a patchwork.

Flood and storm damage restoration

Lakewood carries a real flood risk. The Bear Creek basin has experienced at least 24 major floods since the 1860s, and the 2013 Bear Creek flood and 2019 Lakewood Gulch flash flood are recent reminders.

Our flood cleanup handles Category 2 and 3 contamination, the gray and black water that carries bacteria and sewage into your home. That means full sanitization and antimicrobial treatment, not just water removal.

Sewage backup cleanup

A sewer backup is a health hazard, not a cleaning job. Category 3 water carries pathogens and biological waste that need specialist containment, removal and disposal.

We contain the hazard, remove contaminated flooring and drywall, sanitize to hospital grade and restore the space. One rental in the Eiber neighborhood went from full Category 3 cleanup to passed health inspection in seven days.

Emergency water damage cleanup and repair

Some water damage can't wait for an appointment. Burst pipes in a January cold snap, an appliance flooding the laundry room or a sump pump sending groundwater into the basement all call for emergency water damage cleanup in Lakewood.

Our line is answered 24/7 and a crew is assigned on your first contact. Emergency water damage repair follows the same process as every other job, so a fast start never means a rushed finish.

How it works

Three stages, one team

Here's what happens from the moment you get in touch to the day the last coat of paint goes on.

Assessment and documentation

We map every affected area before any work begins. Moisture mapping and thermal imaging pick up water hidden behind walls and under flooring, not just the damage you can see.

Everything is photographed and logged before cleanup starts, in the format your insurance company needs to process the claim.

Water cleanup and mitigation

We stop the water, remove it and protect what's left. That means isolating the source, extracting standing water with truck-mounted and portable units, and moving contents out of harm's way.

Drying equipment and antimicrobial treatment go in the same day. If it's safe, turning off power to the affected area before we arrive is worth doing.

Repair and reconstruction

Repairs begin only after final moisture readings confirm every material is dry. From there we replace drywall, flooring, cabinetry and finishes, and restore every salvageable item we can.

Your property is returned to its pre-damage condition and all completed work is covered by our warranty.

For businesses

Commercial water damage restoration in Lakewood

When water hits a retail unit in Belmar, an office on West Colfax or a hotel near Green Mountain, revenue stops and liability climbs by the hour. Our commercial work is built to get you open again with the least disruption.

  • Large-loss capability. Multiple crews on site at once for whole-floor or multi-story events, with industrial drying covering thousands of square feet.
  • Sector experience. Retail, office parks, HOAs, healthcare and hospitality each bring their own rules on inventory, tenants and compliance.
  • Pack-out and salvage. Stock, equipment and fittings removed, cleaned and stored in climate control.
  • Works around your hours. Restoration scheduled to keep you trading, with the documented process your insurer expects.
  • Preventive inspections. Scheduled moisture and thermal checks for property managers who would rather catch problems early.

A Belmar retail space with a roof drain overflow across roughly 800 square feet was back open in 72 hours.

Local knowledge

What puts Lakewood homes at risk

Water damage here has a few local signatures. Knowing them is how we spot problems before they turn into losses.

Gulches and floodplains

Lakewood Gulch, Lena Gulch and North Dry Gulch funnel stormwater from the foothills straight through residential streets. Drainage along West Colfax was never sized for a large storm.

Mid-century plumbing

More than half of Lakewood's homes predate 1980. Galvanized supply lines, original water heaters and basement waterproofing from that era are the most common sources of the damage we repair.

Front Range winters

Freeze-thaw cycles work on pipes every year, and a burst line during a cold snap can put hundreds of gallons into a basement before anyone notices. Spring melt then tests sump pumps and grading.

Questions

Water damage restoration in Lakewood: your questions answered

How quickly can you respond to water damage in Lakewood?

Our line is answered 24/7, including weekends and holidays, and a crew is assigned on your first contact.

For non-emergency water damage repair, we'll book an assessment at a time that suits you. Active leaks, flooding and sewage backups are treated as emergencies and dispatched straight away. Either way, getting started within the first 24 hours limits secondary damage and keeps repair costs down.

Does insurance cover water damage restoration in Lakewood?

Usually yes for sudden damage, usually no for floods. Most homeowner's policies cover broken pipes, appliance failures and accidental discharges. Standard homeowners insurance generally does not cover flood losses.

Flood damage typically needs separate cover through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which matters for properties near Bear Creek or inside mapped floodplains. Contact your insurer promptly after discovering damage. We supply photos, moisture logs and line-item estimates for the claim, and bill your insurer directly.

What makes Lakewood homes vulnerable to water damage?

Three things: flood-prone drainages, aging housing and Front Range winters.

The Bear Creek and Lakewood Gulch drainages have flooded repeatedly over 150 years. Around 57% of Lakewood homes were built before 1980, so aging supply lines and weaker waterproofing are common. Freeze-thaw cycles stress plumbing every winter, and heavy rain drives runoff down the foothills through the city's gulches. Along West Colfax the storm drainage was not built for large storms, and more than 100 structures sit inside the 100-year floodplain along North Dry Gulch alone.

What does water damage repair in Lakewood typically involve?

It depends how far the water travelled and what it reached. Minor incidents may only need drying and a small drywall patch. Larger losses can mean replacing subfloors, insulation, cabinetry and whole rooms of flooring.

The assessment on the first visit sets out exactly what has to be removed, dried and rebuilt, and that scope goes straight into your insurance documentation.

How do you prevent mold growth after water damage?

Mold prevention starts during extraction, because mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of water damage.

Industrial dehumidifiers bring relative humidity below 60%, antimicrobial treatment goes on every affected surface, and daily moisture readings continue until materials reach verified safe levels. We also schedule a follow-up check after completion. If mold has already taken hold, our AMRT-certified technicians handle remediation and removal.

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. The initial assessment and written estimate cost nothing and carry no obligation. You'll get a clear scope and price before any work begins, and the same document can go straight to your insurer.
